Gu Mo has been divorced for three years.
During these three years, he visited many scenic spots by himself and had a great time eating, drinking and having fun.
Until a call from his ex-wife Ren Ya broke his comfortable and peaceful life.
"Gu Mo, long time no see."
Gu Mo heard his ex-wife's pleasant and elegant voice, but it sounded harsh and rude, and he couldn't help but frown.
He didn't bother beating around the bush and went straight to the point, "Just tell me what you want to say. We haven't been in touch for three years. You're a big star, so you can't just come and chat with me, a nobody with no ambition, for no reason, right?"
The two people who had not been in contact for many years had long become familiar strangers.
If Gu Mo hadn't occasionally come across hot topics and news about her on social platforms, he would have almost forgotten what his ex-wife looked like.
A qualified ex should be like dead.
Never see each other again until death.
Ren Ya was stunned when she heard this and felt a little uncomfortable.
She felt that after the divorce, even if they couldn't be friends, they shouldn't be so strangers, right?
Does she disgust Gu Mo so much?
"Gu Mo, you're still the same. You're too blunt and have low emotional intelligence. You can't make it in the entertainment industry."
"Ah, right, right, you know you have a high EQ, but why have you been getting worse and worse over the years?"
Ren Ya was furious: "You..."
Lies don't hurt, the truth is the sharpest knife.
Why does she work so hard but her situation gets worse and worse?
Is it because of divorcing him?
She remembered that she got the leading role in a small-budget ancient costume comedy at Gu Mo's strong recommendation. The movie ended up being a huge hit, and she jumped from a third-tier actress to a popular female artist.
She remembered that her only hit single that broke through the circle was written by Gu Mo himself.
She still remembered that Gu Mo had suggested that she focus on TV dramas to hone her acting skills and not rush into movies. In the end, many of her movies failed at the box office, and her reputation and popularity in the industry declined sharply.
Why did you want to divorce in the first place?
It seemed like her former agent always told her that Gu Mo wasn't good enough for her, that he was a parasite sucking blood from her reputation. It seemed like in the end, she also felt that Gu Mo wasn't ambitious enough.
…
Ren Ya calmed down her temper and resisted the urge to fight back.
She directly stated the reason: "Gu Mo, although we are divorced, it is true that a husband and wife are bound by love for a hundred days, right? And now, I want to take on a reality show that Mango TV has put all its efforts into creating, and I need your help."
"Huh?" Gu Mo was stunned.
But he quickly realized that someone claiming to be a director of Mango TV had called him before. He thought it was a scam call and hung up directly.
However, it must be bad news for his ex-wife to come to him.
It's like an old classmate who you haven't contacted in many years suddenly says hello, maybe to send a wedding invitation or to borrow money.
Gu Mo refused directly: "I can't help you. After all, I'm an 18th-tier unknown celebrity in the circle. What can I do to help you?
Do you need me to portray myself as a scumbag or someone without ambition on variety shows to indirectly prove that divorcing me was the right decision?
So as to help you regain the popularity and fans you have lost over the years?"
Gu Mo felt that Ren Ya was too naive. For an actor, excellent film and television works are the artist's greatest confidence.
Become popular again through variety shows, and then go into acting?
Then the audience will definitely be distracted when watching her film or television works in the future.
Perhaps Ren Ya knew these disadvantages, but she had no choice.
If you don't struggle any longer, you will really be out of fashion.
"In this world, you are the only one who meets the conditions to help me.
Because Mango TV is planning to spend a lot of money to invite me to participate in a reality show called "We Are Divorced".
As I have failed in my film career in recent years, most of my basic TV drama resources have been divided up by a group of new and rising stars.
I urgently need a program with controversial topics and high traffic to revitalize my career..."
Fertile grass!
It's a plant!
In this entertainment industry, all kinds of underworld themes can be brought to the table?
…
After a divorce, celebrities usually stop talking to each other for the rest of their lives, and even photos together are rare. Let alone participating in an unusual "relationship variety show" together after a divorce, it would definitely be a hot topic.
In addition, reality shows are heavily scripted, and guests of his status can only be manipulated at will by the program crew, and if they are not careful, they will be labeled as a "scumbag" or "iron straight man".
In addition, Mango TV's "notorious" devilish post-production editing will further ruin his already bad reputation.
In the future, when traveling, Gu Mo may have to wear a mask to prevent being beaten for no reason by enthusiastic tourists.
Gu Mo was about to refuse, ready to let his ex-wife back down: "Ren Ya, I remember two and a half years ago, you had a movie with a female lead that didn't do well at the box office, and you urgently needed a topic to create heat.
Coincidentally, the news of our divorce was suddenly exposed.
So many marketing accounts praised you crazily for your beauty and good acting skills, while I was blackened by the entire Internet!
All kinds of outrageous rumors came out.
Gigolo, cheating, homosexuality...
So, you understand me, right?"
"Gu Mo, I'm sorry. My former agent did that without telling me. After the movie was released, I parted ways with her."
"Tsk, so I've been completely out of touch for the past two and a half years, or am I dead? I haven't even gotten a call from you to apologize?" Gu Mo grew angrier and angrier as he spoke. "Forget it, I'm too lazy to bring up the past. Bye."
"Wait a minute, don't hang up. Let me tell you my conditions first, and then you can consider whether you agree or not." Ren Ya's voice was a little hurried.
Gu Mo was silent, but he didn't hang up the phone.
Ren Ya didn't beat around the bush and directly stated her conditions: "Mango TV is willing to give me a 20 million yuan announcement fee after tax for one season, which is a normal salary for an artist of my level.
